I was stunned and asked him why he was wolf-hearted?

The big man said, my name is Hong Zhuowo, and Hong Zhuoli and Hong Zhuoli are both orphans, and the master adopted us and named us art. The two of us are together day and night, and we have no guesses. Since childhood, we have been determined to get ahead in the future. The master is versatile, and the number of martial arts paths taught to us is completely different, he is good at punches and feet, and I am also good at punches and feet, but it's just ......

I say what's the difference between that?

He said, Hong Zhuoli is on land, and I am in the water.

I asked, "Are you the leader of the Tiger Shark Gang?"

Hong Zhuowo nodded and said that you have a bit of vision. When I was sixteen years old, Hong Zhuoli and I went down the mountain together and went to the rivers and lakes together. He wants to develop on land, and I want to develop in the river and sea, and the two have different opinions and are often angry. After a few days of frustration, we met an old beggar, and the old beggar saw that we had a good foundation in martial arts, and invited us to join the beggar gang, but I didn't agree, but he decided to go with the old beggar. After he left, I was so depressed that I joined the Tiger Shark Gang and never set foot on land again. A few years later, I heard that he became the leader of the beggar gang, and I thought that even if I was a little suspicious, I always had to go to congratulate him on his big day. On the day of the succession of the leader, I gave a generous gift, and he received him warmly. At night, we were drunk, and after all the nonsense, we fell asleep at the banquet one after another. When I woke up, I couldn't breathe well and it was dark in front of me. I reached out and touched all around, it was all wooden planks, and I was horrified that I was in a coffin. I slapped the coffin with both hands and shouted for help, but no one responded. The air in the coffin became less and less, and my consciousness began to blur, and when my hands were fluttering, I used the riverbed escape technique taught by my master, and grabbed both hands together, and with a "click", I grabbed two holes in the plank. I thought I couldn't die, so I kept clutching my hands and finally dug up my grave just as I was about to faint.

At this, his face was full of anger.

I saw Hong Zhuowo stop talking, and asked: What happened later?

His face softened slightly, and he said: Later, I thought that I should be Hong Zhuoli like a brother, but how did he treat me? I just didn't agree to go on land with him, so he held a grudge in his heart, and took advantage of my drunkenness to bury me alive, and this revenge was not avenged, but he was a gentleman? I returned to the Tiger Shark Gang, and with my own water kung fu, I helped the gang leader seize the river and the lake, and made great contributions, and before the gang leader died, he passed on the position of my gang leader, and I went north and south, and finally unified all the water gangs, achieved hegemony, and realized my childhood wish of "getting ahead". I thought that if I didn't avenge the burial alive at this time, when would I wait for it? I would give the order that if I met the beggars by the river, I would be captured alive.

I ask you what do you do catching beggars to help your disciples?

Hong Zhuowo sneered: What can you do? Tie them up first and listen to me tell you a story, so that they can know what kind of wolf-hearted thing their helper is. Again...... Are you asleep?

I turned my head to see that the person who had just pulled the cloth out of my mouth was dozing off, and was drunk by the helper, woke up, and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said that the helper forgave his sins!

Hong Zhuo sighed and said I don't blame you. You've heard about me and Hong Zhuoli hundreds of times. I'll be dozed off too. Get up.

The man was pardoned, and thanksgiving, and stood up, took up the knife, and put it on my neck.

I asked, did you kill all the beggar gang disciples you caught?

Hong Zhuo shook his head and said that Hong Zhuoli had lost his conscience, how could I do such a thing? I just told them to switch to the Tiger Shark Gang.

I asked, what if it wasn't changed?

Hong Zhuowo said, then I can only lose my conscience.

I didn't say anything, and after a while, I asked, if I join the tiger shark, will you be able to release the cherry spirit?

Hong Zhuowo was in a better mood and said of course of course, as long as you are willing to join the Tiger Shark Gang with her, I will definitely let her go. Don't look at me five big and three coarse, I never punish my little brother, you see Xiao Feng dozing off just now, I didn't even say a word. I, the gang leader, is the most sympathetic to my subordinates, unlike Hong Zhuoli, two days ago, their Qian Helm Master made a small mistake and was beaten half to death by him, and I heard that his lower limbs were paralyzed. Also, if you join the Tiger Shark Gang, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future......

I ask you are also like a beggar, looking for a commission or something?

Hong Zhuo said disdainfully, Hong Zhuoli's set is oppression and deception. In order to make a fortune, many beggars have helped their children, and it is said that even their 80-year-old mother and eight-year-old child have developed into a downline to pull out to ask for food. I am fortunate to have to pay a lot to the upline, and I have to pay what dues every day. It's a naked squeeze. Besides, if everyone joins the beggar gang and all go to beg for money, who will give the money? If there is no production, where will the income come from? Just like me and you, we have a total of forty taels of silver, you ask me, I ask you, and next year we will only have forty taels together, and the expenses will only get less and less. Where does the money come from?

I listened and nodded.

As soon as Hong Zhuowo saw that I agreed with what he said, he said: Our Tiger Shark Gang is different, we don't need to beg for money in the wind and rain, we don't need to give the money we work hard to get paid every day, and we don't need to pay membership dues. We are investing.

I wondered: what is the investment?

Hong Zhuowo saw that I was interested, and continued to introduce with his eyebrows: I am working on a project, and this project is very profitable. You only need to give me ten taels, and after five years, you will earn a thousand taels. There aren't many such opportunities.

What project did I ask? Does the Yamen support it?

Hong Zhuowo smiled: This is secretly supported by the imperial court. I have unified all the waters of rivers, rivers and lakes. I set up gates for all rivers according to the instructions of the imperial court, and charged for stopping boats. The fee is calculated according to the nautical mile, one nautical mile charges ten wen, and the court tax is five wen, and our tiger shark gang makes a net profit of five wen. How many boats come and go on the water every day? The silver earned every day can be said to be recorded in 10,000 taels. Five years later, it will be easy to divide the brothers with a thousand taels of silver. The imperial court can receive such a huge amount of money without paying a penny or by one person, do you think they can support it?

Xiao Feng next to him widened his eyes and kept swallowing.

Hong Zhuowo said again: The ten taels that everyone paid were not for Hong's private use. Now the funds are being raised, and when the hundred thousand taels of silver are collected and handed over to the yamen, the yamen can ...... from here

Hong Zhuowo stood up, walked in front of me, took out a sheepskin map from his bosom, pointed to the map and said: Here, here, and here, start to build the gate, and continue to repair it here.

At this point, he pointed to the bottom of the map.

I asked then what?

Hong Zhuowo showed his yellow teeth and said with a smile: Our project can be started.

I said okay, Niu Qi and I both joined the Tiger Shark Gang.

Hong Zhuowo walked back and picked out a hundred taels of silver tickets from the stone table, saying that you might as well vote more, the return will be higher.

I nodded and said yes.

Hong Zhuowo laughed and said that he would be his own person in the future, and you would take back everything on the table. Someone came, let Brother Zhao go, and threw the dog-beating stick and broken bowl back to the shore by the way.

I came to the cave where Sakura Ling was imprisoned. Sakura Ling is crying with her hands tied behind her back.

Sakura Ling was overjoyed when she saw me come in. I untied the rope for Sakura, and Sakura asked, "Why are you okay?"

I said we're all fine. We're now in the Tiger Sharks. They didn't bully you, did they?

Sakura shook her head and asked why we joined the Tiger Shark Gang again?

I told Ying Ling in detail about the conversation with Hong Zhuo Wo just now, and Ying Ling said that Hong Zhuo Wo is not a good thing, how can ordinary people have ten taels of silver?

I said this is not a place to stay, and we might as well wait for an opportunity to escape. If you can't do it, you can just hit it out.

Sakura Ling said no, I've been tied up by them until now, how can I not let them suffer a little? I have to let Hong Zhuowo know how good I am.

I said what are you going to do?

Sakura Ling blinked playfully and asked what would happen if Hong Zhuoli met Hong Zhuoli?

I said it wasn't dark yet.

Sakura Ling said, Brother Zhishan, you wait to see a good show.

We waited until late afternoon when there was a knock on the door and said we had gone out for dinner.

We opened the door and followed the man to a large cave. The cave was densely packed with people, and dozens of wooden barrels were divided in various corners, steaming hot.

We found a corner, grabbed dishes and chopsticks, and lined up to go to the barrel to eat.

When it was my turn, I saw that there was just rice porridge with small shrimp floating in the barrel.

Sakura Ling and I also found a slightly empty place, squatted and picked up the bowl and ate.

Suddenly, someone stood up and asked loudly: Brothers, are you bitter?

Everyone returned in unison: Bitter!

The man knocked the bowl with chopsticks, and sang as he tapped: If you ask me if I am bitter, count the copper coins in my arms. The family has two or three acres of broken land, how to support his wife and mother?

Everyone immediately stood up and sang enthusiastically: Hey, how to feed your wife and mother.

The man sang again: This year the wind and rain are not good, and the harvest is only 1,500. 500 catties to the county yamen, 500 catties to the landlord of the dog.

Everyone sang along: Hey, 500 catties to the dog landlord.

The man then sang: Since joining my Tiger Shark Gang, everyone's livelihood is guaranteed. Fishing and selling in the market every day, save the silver taels together.

Everyone sang along: Hey, let's save the silver taels.

The man went on to sing: Build a gate to collect customs duties, and from then on you will not be guilty. Follow the Hong Gang Master to work hard, and make thousands of times more money in five years!

Everyone knocked on the bowl together and shouted: Make money thousands of times in five years!

The man motioned for everyone to sit down, pulled me and Ying Ling, and said: This is the new person we have received from Kaifeng, one is called Zhao Xiaoer, and the other is called Niu Qi.

Everyone heard that Sakura Ling's name was Niu Qi, and some people talked about how a good girl took this name.

The man said: They invest 100 taels at a time, and after five years they can get back 10,000 taels! Everyone do a good job, if you don't work hard to make money and invest today, tomorrow you can only watch others hold gold bricks. Let's think about it, why are those dog landlords who have endless money, but we can only live a poor life? Why do those rich people have a lot of fish and meat all day long, but we have no clothes and no food? Why can those big families be powerful and prosperous in Kaifeng, but we can only be cattle and horses, and suffer and suffer? Why are the children of those official eunuchs able to participate in the imperial examinations, but we cannot afford to study in private schools? Why are those rich and wealthy gentry all have three wives and four concubines, all of whom are like flowers and jade, but we only have bad wives and cheap people, and some of us are still singles to this day? Do we have fewer arms or legs than them? Brothers, what we lack more than them is opportunities! Right now, the opportunity to make a hundred dollars is right in front of us! We must not waste the opportunity to make a fortune, everyone rolls up their sleeves and trouser legs, tightens their belts, fishes more and eats less, saves more money and turns it in, so that in five years we can eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, live in the largest house in Kaifeng, and enjoy all the glory and wealth! Come, brothers, for the sake of a rich life in five years, we will dry this bowl of porridge!

Everyone was impassioned and emotional, and they picked up the porridge together and shouted: Dry.

I was infected by the atmosphere, and I felt my blood surge, so I picked up the porridge and swallowed it in one gulp.

Sakura gave me a push, and the look in my eyes was full of mockery.
